Thrilling Character Introductions
Kazuma Kiryu
Portrayed by Takaya Kuroda, Kiryu is the former fourth chairman of the Tojo Clan, revered as a legend within the underworld. Despite his fearsome reputation, Kiryu is characterized by his strong sense of justice and loyalty. Living a quiet life with Haruka Sawamura, his world is upended following a violent attack on the fifth chairman, Terada, drawing him back into a tumultuous conflict with the Omi Alliance.
Ryuuji Goda
Iwasaki Masanori lends his voice to Goda, who is identified as the second chairman of the Dojima Family under the Omi Alliance. Known for his strength and charisma, he’s often associated with the title ‘Dragon of Kansai’, which he deeply resents, feeling it undermines his individuality. His ambition leads him to set his sights on Kamurocho, and the stage is set for a fierce showdown with Kiryu.
Haruka Sawamura
Voiced by Rie Kugimiya, Haruka is the young girl embroiled in the '100 Billion Yen Incident', having met Kiryu during that fateful time. Despite losing her parents, her resilience and determination shine through as she seeks a peaceful life alongside Kiryu.
Kaoru Sayama
The talented Kaoru, portrayed by Aya Hisakawa, is a rapid-rising police officer dedicated to taking down organized crime. Her unsparing pursuit of justice leads her to Kiryu, as she seeks to uncover the truth behind her troubled past, creating an intriguing partnership between the two.
Goro Majima
Known as 'The Mad Dog of Shimano', Goro Majima brings chaos and unpredictability wherever he goes, voiced by Hidenari Ugaki. Although he plays a key role in the Tojo Clan, he stays true to his lone wolf nature, making him one of the series' most compelling personalities.
